<p>Please and thanks!</p>
<p>Uh, whichever you’re more interested in.</p>
<p>Does anybody in this generation care about learning anymore?</p>
<p>Agree with both of the above replies. </p>
<p>Although Art History may seem on the surface to be an easier major, it’s only going to be easy if you’re actually interested in the course material and writing long essays analyzing the differences between Rembrandt and Frans Hals. Multiply this by 13 times (or more) for completing the entire art history major.</p>
<p>Lol I love them both. Just asking.</p>
<p>Philosophy is nothing like art history.</p>
<p>A lot of people have difficulty in philosophy. As a Phil major, most of my classes have started out with a lot of people and ended with very few and there havent been a lot of As. I personally think philosophy is easy, but that sentiment is not shared by many I come in contact with. Don’t know anything about art history so can’t really assert which is easier or not.</p>
<p>Realistically, at the community college level, almost all humanities classes are easy A’s. Use ratemyprofessor.com to avoid the harder professors.</p>
<p>If you do decide to major in philosophy, then double major with a respected field of study, or do pre-law. I am probably one of the few people you will ever meet who respects a philosophy degree. </p>
<p>A BA in Art History is a worthless degree. When people say that the value of education has gone down and that a college degree means relatively nothing with the amount of fluff degrees floating around, I immediately think of art history. Now, that isn’t to say art history is easy. At the community college level it’s a joke, at the 4 year level it gets tedious as all hell and if your performance goes down, grad schools want you less. And you pretty much have to go to grad school to do much of anything in the field.</p>
<p>Art History if you are good at memorization.</p>
<p>I say art history.Tbh,I will have major in art history but,unfortunately, don’t have rich parents to fall back on in case I don’t make it.Luckily, I am science major so luckily once I make it as doctor or soemthing I can truly appreciate the arts of Verocchio or Pablo Picasso.</p>
<p>Haha. I’m a pre-med here. Useless? that’s a bit harsh don’t you think?</p>
<p>Having taken 1 course in each subject, I feel that I am the most qualified individual to judge this </p>
<p>Art History if you have a good memory for dates, places, works, and those people who make them.</p>
<p>Philosophy if you are reasonably good at memorizing people and ideas, having the ability to regurgitate these ideas in essay form is a plus.</p>
<p>Art history is still a worthless degree. If for whatever reason you change your mind or don’t get into med school or don’t finish, the people at home depot aren’t gonna care that you know who Rembrandt is… they’re gonna put you in the paint department.</p>
<p>Let’s not be pretentious here.</p>
<p>The Art History majors at Getty seem to love their jobs and are paid fairly decent to boot. </p>
<p>I remember being in a engineering class where there was one really cute Asian girl amongst 30 male engineers. I was the one who ended up dating her because discovered she loved art after a few minutes of talking with her. The knowledge I gained from my Art History class came in handy. Not only was it a great ice breaker but is way more interesting to talk about with females over any math or engineering related topics. Just something to think about.</p>
<p>“but is way more interesting to talk about with females over any math or engineering related topics.”</p>
<p>No it’s not.</p>
<p>Sorry, but you are only one female. Just because I’m into science and engineering doesn’t mean I want to talk about all the time. It’s called having a life. If I want to go out to a bar or dinner the last thing I want to talk about is work, school, or any computer, math or science related topic. I also am not interested in other people’s problems or personal ‘issues’, especially related to work or school.</p>
<p>“but is way more interesting to talk about with females over any math or engineering related topics. Just something to think about.”</p>
<p>Art History pickup line:
‘Hey baby, I see you like that David over there. Did you know that when Michelangelo was presenting his art to a critic for the first time, the man said he had too large of a nose? Michel was ****ed about this so he ran up there with a handful of dust and and chisel then pretended to chisel away at his nose. When he came down, he asked the critic…’ Boring!</p>
<p>Magician’s (Scientist) pick up line:
'Want to see a magic trick? <em>pulls out laser pointer and aims at a wall</em> ‘See, just a small dot’ <em>now pulls out 3 hairs and puts them in front of the laser pointer</em> ‘The light is interfering with itself to create a beautiful pattern of light.’</p>
<p>disclaimer: I’m not sure if the double slit experiment will work with human hair, I should try it. If it doesn’t work, I’m sure I can find some other experiment useful to pull out.</p>
<p>I’d say that art history is easier than Philosophy, but that is because Art History seems to focus more on memorization rather than critical thinking or analytical skills. However, when it comes down to what to actually major in, I would pick Philosophy over Art History any time! I love being exposed to unusual ideas that stretch the limits of mind and learning how to think critically about these sometimes bizarre ideas, and that is exactly what philosophy does (if you are in a good philosophy class…if you are not, then it is just about regurgitating ideas and appeasing the professor).</p>
<p>"I also am not interested in other people’s problems or personal ‘issues’, especially related to work or school. "</p>
<p>Isn’t this kind of the wrong forum to frequent if you are not interested in hearing about these things? :-)</p>
